Application led October 9, Serial No. 888,177.

Be it known thatI, Louis RING of Leesbur in the county of Loudon and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and use-` ful mprovements inOverlap ing the Edges of Garments; arid I do. here y declare the Yfollowing to be afull, clear, and exact descri tion ofthe invention, 'such as-'will enabe,

tains to make and use .the same.

The primary object of this invention is to ges or bottoms of garments that will be concealedand the arts use of linings, an not the selvage `only will 011e side be cuff of uniform thickness The invention be hereinafter fully set forth and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanyin drawings, Figure 1 is a' diagrammatic view o al ortion of. a trouser leg, `with the bottom olded. Fig. 2 is -a. similar view showing lthe-first fold. 3 shows the second third and final fold. Fig. 5 is a view from the` side opposite to Fig. 4.. Fig. 6 is an exa gerated sectional view on line 6+f-6, Fig. l4, s owing the overlaps slightly expanded to enable the folds to be clearly understood. Fig. 7 is a similar view with the overlaps in' engagement.' Fig. 8 is adiagrammatic view o a Fig.v 9'shows the lcom pleted cuff.-

In carrying' out my invention the extreme or selvage e ge 1 is folded over upon itself along the line 2, (see Fig. 2) and the material is then the line 3 a'rallel wit edge 1, as en, according to the cuff should have, the b elvond the folded edge,

, (see Fig. 4), that is,

w ichis substantia shownin Fig. 3.

' along the line 4, which is brought 1n'to ara'llel- Y' end of the goods, which forms the u ism with theedge of the double fol at the and also along the line 5, per edge of the cuff. This latter edge is'on t e exterior, whilethe edges alongv the lines-2 and 4 are on the interior.

The' material may then be stitched together along such latterlines, vas at 6, Fig. 4, or it .maybe pasted along such lines with rubber secured, as supposedly tissue or otherwise used in Fig. 7. l Inthis way,' not onl do I secure ia perfectly smooth Inner su ace, Vbut there is oneply less material than in cui's'.

fold. Fig'.- 4 -shows .the b fabric material as to render the use of lining unnecessary for" and a cuff' of uniform thickness,

formed on trousers after the manner now in vogue, and the cuff is of uniform thickness so that in pressing the cuff presents a neat and uniform ap earance, free `from all ridges. This is true oth as regards cuffs for coats or shirts as well as for the legs of trousers? In makin cuffs for coats or shirts, the material ma Ire cut in a short distance along line 5 an curved, as shownin Figs. 8 and 9, the ed desire 'severed along vthe line 5, and in this way economy Inpracticing my invention vin connection with coat sleeves, the liningsof such sleeves maybe left open at the bottom orcufl end, Ain Vwhich event the extreme end of the lining Will be turned in and hemmed. In this way the sleeve can be cut either the full es being stitched beyond the opening forthe cuff. The material may be in material may be secured in the ,make up of portions ofthe cuf. free fromall unevenness length or shorter, and secured only at the seams of the sleeve.

The 'advantages of 1n yinvention will be apparent to those skille 'in the art. It'will e seen that by means thereofthle edge of may be so folded and secured the purposeof concealment, and also that Phe mner surface of the folded art is perin light weight or summer clothing. 'All the necessary body or stiffness is secured and at the same time a saving in material. is effected presenting a smooth appearance, is secured. v

I cla as m invention:

The herein escribed cuff for the edges or bottoms of garments, composed of material the free edge of which'is twice folded upon itself, with the selvage entirely inclosed and concealed,- the material beyond such doubly foldedportion being .twice folded upon itself,-

tocorre's ond in thickness with the first mentioned fo ded ortion, one edge of the second mentioned fo ded ortion being close to the Inner edge of the t mentioned folded orvtion tlrlecufls so formed being of un orm `thio ess at everyl point.lv

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscrlbing witnesses,
